THE GOLDEN KEY.
Staitllaf Proof That It Will t'nlock tl».
Gate to Engll«h Society.
It is now pretty generally understood
both in England and America that a
golden key will unlock any gate in tlio
society of this country. Perhaps tjiu
most striking demonstration vet mudo
was given last week by some one who
responded to an advertisement offering
to introduce a lady into tho "smartest
society in London" at terms of £1,000
• year. An answer to this card was
made in behalf of a supposed American
young lady whose parents desired to se-
cure for her a court presentation, etc.
The writer said: "Though not averse
to these ambitious prospects, she does
not enter into them with the zeal nrcc-«-
sary to their accomplishment. She is
fully aware of the disadvantages caused
by her defective education and lack of
knowledge of the usages of that society
of whieh it is desired she should become
a member. It is to overcome this that a
chaperon is needed. This lady must be
of irreproachable character, high birth
and capable of introducing the debutante
into the society of the English tipper
classes as an equal, for tho young lady
referred to is high spirited.
"Considered from the American point
of view of feminine beantv, she is vry
pretty. I feel it my duty to inform yon
that there is one fearful drawback—
that is, illegitimacy. Of course this is
known only to a few, and there is no
reason on earth why tho fact, should bo
circulated."
In reply to this came u letter from a
lady of title whoso name is known
throughout tho world and of the highest
social position outside of actual royalty.
Furthermore, it was ascertained that
there was no donbt of the genuineness
of her offer. This, among other things,
she wrote to a perfect stranger:
' First of all, I prefer an American.
Lady Randolph Churchill i-i a friend of
mine, but I am very fond of Americans.
Either I will not undertake it at ail, or
your friend will go to court and be in
the smartest society. I know yon will
not think mo vulgar if I say that wo
are in the best society. For instance,
the Dnko of Cambridge dined with us
last night. My husband lioMs a high
official position in London. Nothing hot
want of means prevents my being a
leader in society more or less.
"But first I must see tho young lady
and form my own opinions, and, second-
ly, I confess that the drawback of birth
would make me more exacting about
money, as more would have to be <loue
to overcome this difficulty than other-
wise. The fact of illegitimate birth
would not affect my power of introduc-
ing her into the be*t society, but (here
are a hundred things to be considered,
and to receive a large sum would not
induce me to undertake anything 1
could not carry out. I shall be at home
from 3 to ,r>:i!0 p. m. tomorrow if yon
would make it convenient to call. "
Not having received a reply to tins
letter, the lady wrote again, saying that
her correspondent must decide quickly,
as two other ladies wished her servi'-es.

FEARS OF RADICALISM.
The Magnate* of I.on<Jon Stirred l'j» Orrr
the Coining County C ouncil Kleetion.
The elections for tho London county
council, tho body which governs the
whole of this vast metropolis except tho
tiny area known as tho city, will take
place in March, and it id now evident
that they will be fought on strictly po-
litical lines. The magnates who own
the greater part of the land upon which
London stands, including men liko
Lord Salisbury, the Dnko of Bedford
and tho Dnko of Westminster, are so
frightened by the increasingly radical,
not to sav socialistic, character of tho
present council that their purse strings,
usually kept tightly tied indeed, liavo
been unloosed, and they are prepared
to spend ifoOO.O'H) to help the Tories ob-
tain a majority.
Several noblemen even consider tho
emergency so great that they are willing
to sacrifice themselves to tho extent of
becoming candidates and sitting in the
council with quite common people, even
with their own tradesmen, if they can
find constituencies to elect them. Tho
music hall peoplo havo also thrown in
their lot with the Tories, and one of
them, Mr. George Edwardes, manager
of tho Empire, has sacrificed his feelings
like the noblo sufferers just referred to
and is contesting tho division against
Mr. McDougal, ono of the leaders of tho
so called purity crusade.—London Let-
ter.
Cold Weather (likkiu*.
A Louisville (Ky.) man who says ho
never drinks tells of u farmer who has
produced a breed of fur bearing chick-
ens, which sport in ice water and cackle
briskly in tho midst of almost eternal
snow. This was accomplished by skin
grafting a selected cock and hen with
rabbit skin half an inch at a time. The
process was painful, but succeeded ad-
mirably. Eggs of tho new breed self
rapidly at $1.75 a dozen and aro hatch
ed out by the ordinary hens, who in-
variably die of fright upon porceivinp
the strange appearance of their off
spring.
A Lively Houie.
During the heavy rain and hail storir
which prevailed hero nt midnight Sun-
day night a two story farmhouse thrcf
miles east of town was blown 1)0 feet
from its foundation. Tho building, hav-
ing made two complete revolutions,
landed on its side intact. Tho family,
consisting of Mont Mattux, his wife
and three children, were in bod at tl:<>
time of tho accident, and all escaped in-
jury except. Mrs. Mattux, whose arm
was dislocated.—Breckenridgo (Mo.)
Dispatch
White House Silver.
A Walliugford (Conn.; silver manu-
facturing firm has received an order for
*terling silverware to bo added to the
service at the White House. The m< m-
bar**)f t!x> firm declino to give a de-
scription of the plate, Lot say the order
will be a costly one.
3tbo>0 efforts are being made to
•rect a handsome frpit palace, at
Tyler, in which to hold fruit and
floral exhibitions during the month
of Joly of cach year, with a reason-
Able show of success.
Thibe are said to bo G5G Dewapa-
pers and periodicals published iu
Texas, all of wbotn are engaged iu
one great and mighty effort to ad -
vaace and build up the material in
threats of the Lone Star State.
AUTHORITIES ON SNOBS.
Cholly liulomen McAllister,anil Both Jump
Onto the Society Toads.
Tin end is certainly drawing near
when Mac begins to write autobiogra-
phy.
Ho took tin tho question of snobs yes-
terday, a subject upon which uo living
man is more capable of writing, and
said:
"A snob toadies to tho rich and prom-
inent persons of society, feeling that he
owes his social support to thorn, and is
utterly indifferent to those who do uot
wear the garb.bf society."
Hits thecasoexactly! Do yon see? Do
you understand?
And again:
"If we should examine into tho meta-
physics e£ snobbery, I should say that
a snob is tho result of two component
forces. Given a man of absorbing ambi-
tion and place him in an environment
wherO this unscrupulous ambition for
social supremacy will be cherished and
i.neouraged by those who thrive on adu-
lation, and you have the snob. "
Don'tcie lkuow? Yes, we all do.
Nobody in New York has got such a
I distinctive and distinguished social po-
; ,-ition I hat any one ne«l bother his head
| lo toady to liitn.
Persons 1 f the be»t >■ <■ ial position are
I of course women and men of tho best
biith and breeding, who lead the most
correct lives, yet these aro not the per-
: .ns b< bt by toadies
It is money and what it brings that wo
—■Mac, yon and I—aro all after. Tho
toady .doesn't care so much to be seen
walking on Fifth avenue with nStuyve-
sunt or a Hamilton as ho does to drive
with it Vanderbilt or spend two weeks
in tho country with a Webb.
Ho may ne ver tell yon ah it his walk,
but you are sure to hear all about his
dinner and visit. Let your light so
shiuo before men that they may see
your swell acquaintance and glorify
